F Environmental Policy and Recycling Program
Environmental policy
Xplore Technologies is committed to managing health, safety and
environmental (HS&E) matters as an integral part of our business. In
particular, it is our policy to assure the HS&E integrity of our processes
and facilities at all times and at all places. We will do so by adhering to the
following principles:
Compliance
We will comply with applicable laws and regulations and will
implement programs and procedures to assure compliance.
Compliance with HS&E standards will be a key ingredient in the
training, performance reviews, and incentives of all employees.
Risk reduction, prevention, and resource management
We will seek opportunities, beyond compliance requirements, for
reducing risk to human health and the environment, and we will
establish and meet our own HS&E quality standards where appropriate.
We will employ management systems and procedures specifically
designed to prevent activities and/or conditions that pose a threat to
human health, safety, or the environment. We will look for ways to
minimize risk and protect our employees and the communities in which
we operate by employing clean technology, including safe technologies
and operating procedures, as well as being prepared for emergencies.
We will strive to minimize releases to the air, land, or water through use
of cleaner technologies and the safer use of chemicals. We will minimize
the amount and toxicity of waste generated and will ensure the safe
treatment and disposal of waste. We will manage scarce resources, such as
water, energy, land, and forests in an environmentally sensitive manner.
